Fix for the leaking sockets
Here is a patch that fixes the issue reported by me earlier today. It may have several lines offset because we use modified lightdm but it is good for the original version too.
regards,
Rumen

Description of problem: Each time the greeter starts the number of open FDs increase. After each login and logout cycle the number of open FDs is increased by 6. Which over time leads to impossible logins and the message in /var/log/messages is: Jun 12 02:44:24 node3 lightdm[17471]: ** (lightdm:17471): WARNING **: Failed to create pipe to communicate with session process: To...en files Jun 12 02:45:29 node3 lightdm[17471]: ** (lightdm:17471): WARNING **: Failed to create pipes: Too many open files Jun 12 02:47:47 node3 lightdm[17471]: ** (lightdm:17471): WARNING **: Failed to create pipes: Too many open files Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 19 lightdm 1.6.0 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. login on a console and find the pid of main lightdm process then: # lsof -p {lightdm_pid} |grep FIFO |wc -l 26 2. switch to X console and login through lightdm and then logout 3. go back on comsole # lsof -p {lightdm_pid} |grep FIFO |wc -l 32 Actually the number increases when the greeter is started but it never decreases.
